Prodigal: You want to play a game?
Me: Sure I betcha I will win!
Prodigal: Well then let the games begin!
Charles Swindoll in his book Living on the Ragged Edge talks about leaders
A wise leader will allow the Lord God to maintain control over his or her power. He will realize that he is gifted by the grace of God to do a job, and sometimes a vast and terrible job, a hard and demanding job. In humility he will enter the Lord into his decision making process, problem-solving solutions, and future-planning strategy. But in all of the rigors and the disciplines of getting the job done, those who follow this leader will continue to feel dignity and importance. They will not feel like insignificant pawns on a chessboard of activity.
Go to the Lord right now, because some of those leaders are just using you as a pawn on a chessboard and are after their agenda and not of the Lord’s. God will show you who’s heart is really following God. You just have to ask for spiritual eyes and ears to follow the truth and not who you like in personality.
Psalm 91:2
I will say to the Lord, “My refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.”
